Accepting Your Favor, Close Combat Wrathful Blade Intent Arises

Wan Yiming felt his bones crackle and pop, his internal organs shifting!

"Pfft!!!"

A mouthful of coppery sweetness surged up!

His body retreated continuously, his feet plowing deep furrows in the ground.

"How... how is this possible?"

He found it hard to believe!

One had to know, the martial arts cultivated by the Hundred Beasts Sect were all derived from various ferocious beasts.

They mimicked the form and intent of the beasts!

Naturally!

The disciples of the Hundred Beasts Sect possessed powerful physiques!

At the same level, their physical strength far surpassed other martial artists.

Close-quarters combat was their forte!

Wan Yiming's rise to become a martial path prodigy, his claim to fame, was his formidable physique!

It was no less than that of a ferocious beast!

But now!

What he relied on not only failed to yield the desired result but instead made him question his entire life.

How could he stand this!

"Ah, no!"

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

Wan Yiming's eyes turned bloodshot, and he roared to the heavens, almost hysterically!

Like a ferocious beast gone mad, a monstrous aura of killing intent emanated from him!

Seven layers of Blood Essence surged!

Rolling blood energy projected outwards, solidifying into a thick, black Fiendish Aura!

The Fiendish Aura spread, covering his entire body.

His physique expanded once more, bursting through his clothes.

On his slightly hunched muscles, his hairs stood on end like steel needles!

Seen from afar!

He resembled a human-shaped, black, enraged grizzly bear!

His face was ferocious, his eyes bloodshot, exuding brutality and savagery!

"Roar!!!"

A single roar shook the forest, causing birds and beasts to flee!

His aura had increased severalfold!

This state far surpassed anything before!

Clearly, he was going all out!

Jiang Yi did not underestimate him, his head adorned with the majestic Spring Burst Phenomenon.

The Cauldron Origin Blood Essence within him surged and boiled!

With every movement, the aura and intent exuded were heavy, grand, and fierce!

Brilliant azure light shone, blood energy flowed, transforming into Cauldron Origin Treasure Aura, like heavy armor and gauntlets covering his entire body.

With a swooping charge, The two clashed fiercely once more!

Muffled thunderous explosions, mixed with roars, assailed the ears.

The earth cracked, mud and stones rolled, and dust billowed!

Obscuring the two!

Making it difficult to see clearly.

Vaguely, two figures could be seen, one black and one azure, one moving and one still, engaged in close-quarters combat!

With the clash of claws and fists, The black figure was repelled, while the azure figure stepped forward, his body bending slightly.

His hands formed fists in a salute, his back arched like a dragon!

As if supporting a great cauldron, or like two bull horns meeting!

Both fists rose together, as if piercing the heavens!

The shadowy figure in black light seemed to have been struck a heavy blow, its protective Fiendish Aura violently shattered!

Revealing the body within!

Two bull horns, their residual power undiminished, drove straight into his chest!

In just an instant!

Bones shattered, flesh tore, and his chest caved in!

He was lifted off the ground, blood spewing from his mouth, mixed with fragments of internal organs.

But that wasn't all!

A large hand reached out, grabbed his ankle, and yanked him down!

He was slammed back to the ground, creating a large pit!

"Ah!!!"

Wan Yiming could no longer bear it!

His Blood Essence scattered, revealing his true form, blood gushing from his mouth as he let out a pained howl!

"Ming'er... Not good!"

"Stop right there!"

Several people from the Hundred Beasts Sect, seeing this, were shocked and furious. Unable to restrain themselves, they charged towards Jiang Yi!

Unexpectedly, several people from the temple leaped out!

Blocking their path and stopping them all.

Hu Zhong, holding a butcher's knife, wore a look of disdain!

His aura flowed!

His cultivation level of eightfold Blood Essence was revealed!

"Two against one is already shameless enough!

What, you still want to gang up on him?

I, Old Hu, have always despised your kind of factions the most!

You were born with ugly faces!"

Hu Zhong spat on the ground, then turned to Jiang Yi, grinning and saying, "Little Brother Jiang, I've eaten your meat, so I owe you one!

Today, this trouble!

Let me help you out!"

"Haha, count me in!"

"I ate the meat too, so I'll join too..."

The people in the dilapidated temple stepped forward one by one, even their leader, Qi Zhengyi, joined the fray.

They lined up on both sides, blocking the path of the two major factions!

"Who are you people?"

An Elder from the Hundred Beasts Sect stared at the group before him and asked in a deep voice!

"From the Spark Alliance!

Don't know us? That's fine, you will soon enough!"

"Hmph!"

"No matter where you come from, once you're in my Hundred Beasts Sect's territory, even dragons have to coil up and tigers have to lie down.

We call the shots here!"

The Elder of the Hundred Beasts Sect snorted, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

"Attack, kill them!"

With a wave of his hand, the Hundred Beasts Sect disciples all attacked, charging towards Hu Zhong and the others!

As for the Elder of the Hundred Beasts Sect, he intended to bypass them and try to rescue Wan Yiming!

"Old man, I'm your opponent!"

"Trying to run? No way!"

A streak of silver-bright blade light flashed, like a silken banner, hanging down!

"You..."

On the other side, Li Guan attacked again!

His scorching, sharp aura stirred up rolling waves of heat, seeking to destroy everything!

Before he even got close!

Jiang Yi already felt a burning sensation on his back!

It was like a blazing inferno engulfing him, threatening to turn him into a pile of ash!

In his sea of consciousness, an ancient sound echoed!

His eyes began to clear, as if able to pierce through illusions and discern truth from falsehood.

Above his head, the blood essence from the Spring Burst Phenomenon descended!

Blocking everything!

As if he had eyes on his back, his foot kicked backward, and the inverted, dark halberd instantly left the ground!

It drew a flying arc through the air!

He reached out and gripped it, holding it behind him. With another twist, the dragon head biting the halberd's teeth...

Precisely and unerringly blocked the crimson sword tip that lunged at him!

"Clang!"

The sword and halberd clashed, like metal striking stone!

Deafening!

Seeing his attack fail, Li Guan took a small step back, changing his thrust into a slash!

Crimson blood essence permeated the air, transforming into mist, attempting to obscure Jiang Yi's vision.

Jiang Yi's eyes shone brilliantly, as if containing divine light!

His body flickered, and he swung the halberd, slashing down with a corner of its blade!

Another "clang" and humming sound echoed through the heavens!

After this strike, Jiang Yi had turned the tables, shifting from passive to active. The halberd flipped, its dark light condensing!

A single sweep of "Thousands of Armies"!

Blood essence surged, and immense strength welled up, sending Li Guan flying several yards away.

Jiang Yi advanced with his halberd!

"Hum!"

The halberd in his hand vibrated, as if its sentience had awakened!

The Asura's killing intent was fully revealed, radiating bloodlust and ferocity!

Wrathful Blade Intent rose from Jiang Yi's body, spreading to the halberd and reaching its blade!

Using the blade as a sword, controlling intent with strength!

A single move, "Wrathful Blade," was unleashed, earth-shattering, as if the world had lost its color!

Faintly accompanied by the roar and long cry of a Flood Dragon, it momentarily seized the target's mind!

Under that halberd strike, Li Guan's protective crimson Treasure Aura was as fragile as paper.

"Pfft!"

A muffled thud as flesh was pierced!

The halberd split the man, from top to bottom, cleaving him in two!

The blade's might remained undiminished!

With a "boom" and a tremendous roar, it carved a trench more than a zhang deep into the earth.

Li Guan, deceased!
